  1. Welcome dude, get some pictures up. 1.0's are cool, be proud. Your 1.0 probably has the same BHP as my old 1.3 mk2f polo, so it's not all about the cc! looking forward to seeing pics.
  2. All quotes have gone up. its a fact. Get the cheapest you can then accept it and pay for it. theres nothing you can do about it and you need to have insurance. unfortunately something compulsory like car insurance isnt regulated (very well) and therefore we get mugged off. welcome to the UK.
  3. To be entirely honest, my thread was meant to be a joke that got taken way too seriously (with regards to the lupo vs arosa thread). Last time I used forums we all used to get along and have a laugh. Maybe I'm different to everybody else but if someone wants to slate my diesel 3cyl lupo, go ahead, i dont give a fuck. My tdi will always be inferior to the gti. I'm not crying about it. This is the only forum I've been on that seems to be so ban happy? That's not a dig at anybody, I'm just saying, 9 times out of ten people want to chat rubbish on forums, and the other time they're looking for serious advice. Granted, the interests thing is annoying, but wouldn't a "can you change it please?" do the same job? Or delete/lock my thread rather than the threat of suspension? Forums are a cruel place but maybe if we all relaxed a little we'd actually enjoy it. In all honesty, I don't see how some people get away with the **** they come out with on here, and others get hit with the ban hammer over something small?
  4. Yes Pete. Which Pete are you again? :S
  5. Well I understood what you meant!
  6. Ok, from now on I shall refer to you as "The Pete"
  7. I can't afford the petrol to put in a gti. Hence why I bought a tdi! I also can't afford the insurance of a gti at the moment. So I'm not really one to talk
  8. Not being a knob, but are you absolutely 100% sure they're 7J not 8? It's just, my friends 8's sit only a little further out, certainly not an inch further
  9. Meh. You do make a good point. Anyways, which Pete are you? It's so confusing having two Petes around :/
  10. This is brilliant. This thread was purely a trolling thread, because I knew it'd wind all you "Seat Whores" up. They didn't make a GTI arosa because the poor people that buy Seat's can't afford the petrol to put in the tank :/
  11. This thread did get a little bit out of hand. But hey, it made for good reading. Geoff - you're probably better off with your own account just to save the hassle and all this ****. Good sport though with regards to putting up with the shi-tty comments. And Sophie - don't bite to the lesbian comment. It was a joke. Do what you want to your car and let every body else comment/hate on it, because that's the car scene for you..! The shaping of the steel would be the hard bit IMHO. I'm pretty sure you can literally buy the extension, preformed. At least, that's what you can do with a lot of cars, maybe not with the Lupo, I don't know. I wouldn't worry about failing the mot... Stick the old bonnet back on. Of course, if you were to declare this, it would count as a "body modification" and be reasonably expensive to declare. Mind you, if you hit something your bonnet will be mangled anyway. Let me know what you decide to do in the end anyway!
  12. 8j et25 sits rather flush with the rear arches. Use willtheyfit.com to work out how they will sit. Ill tell you now, 7j et32 will tuck
  13. These kits are just solenoids (things that push and pull when a current is applied). They're easy to fit if you want to. You get one with about 5 wires (drivers door) and the others should have 2. I believe the kits even have instructions
  14. How long is a piece of string? Put it back to standard, sell the car standard and the bits you bought. You will get MUCH more money, quicker, this way. Ill buy your coilies if you do do that.
  15. 8j et30 will ever so slightly tuck. But very minimally. You'll want your arches rolled at least, if you're going to be low.

    £100 would have been more or less the extra insurance premium on a 1.4 75bhp, not that I'm trying to be a knob, but maybe that would have been money better spent?
